The last time (and only time) I had steroids, I had to go to the bathroom a LOT. My dad told me that steroids can cause you to have to use the potty a lot sometimes. Could that have been it?

At the time, it was annoying, but I was such a happy camper that the vertigo had gone away, and I could feel my toes and I felt "so good!"

I hated the side effects tho...the whole going potty every 3 1/2 minutes, and the interesting and icky infection that girls get when using steroids or antibiotics was really sucky. One of the biggest reasons why I'll try to tough it out during an exacerbation now, rather than running for steroids.

Vertigo is the one symptom that I hate more than side effects, but it has to be really really really bad to make me beg for steroids. I havent had vertigo that bad since that last time with steroids, so far, I've been able to resist the lure of the steroids.
